In this preview we’re excited to show you the Groups feature and introduce you to Citavi for DBServer.

One important change requires action on your part. The Attachments folder (CitaviFiles in Citavi 4) has been renamed as Citavi Attachments. So that Citavi can find PDF files, images, and other files attached to your project, you need to copy the contents from the old Attachments folder into the new Citavi Attachments folder for each Citavi 5 project you created.

Here’s how:

Close Citavi 5.

In Windows Explorer switch to the Citavi 5 folder for user files. The default folder is C:\Users\[your name]\Documents\Citavi 5.

Open the Projects folder and then open the folder with the project name.

Move the contents of the Attachments folder to the Citavi Attachments folder.

Delete the Attachments folder.

Repeat these steps for each Citavi 5 project.

New feature: Groups. You can now organize your references with groups. How do groups differ from categories or keywords? Categories and keywords always have some association with the content of your references. Groups can help you organize your work or sort references in a way unrelated to their contents. For example, you could create the groups already read, currently reading and to read. Or you could create a group named Delete? for references that you want to possibly delete after discussing them with your team members.

New feature: Citavi for DBServer. This new edition for database servers is primarily meant for our organizational users. In Citavi for DBServer, project files are saved in a server database rather than in a file. This makes it possible for large teams to work on projects at the same time, and it makes user and license administration easier. The DBServer Manager makes administering server projects a breeze.

The Word Add-In also includes new improvements. There are now additional sorting options for references and knowledge items.
